Disney Turning Tomorrowland Into a Feature Film?

File this under "delicious rumor".

FirstShowing.net is reporting the possibility that an upcoming Disney movie will essentially be a movie based on the Tomorrowland theme.

Dwayne Johnson is being setup as the lead in the film and writers Jon Lucas and Scott Moore (of Rebound, Full of It, and Four Christmases) have been hired to write an "epic-sized action adventure set in space." To add more fuel to the fire, the currently untitled film is being produced by the same guys who brought us Dwayne Johnson's The Game Plan.


I have to admit that so far, that does not sound that promising. I definitely hope that, if this is true, it does not turn into a mindless adventure flick. What made Pirates so good (especially the first one), was the acting by Johnny Depp. So you do need quality actors as well, not just a good story and a lot of special effects. I'm not sure if "The Rock" has ever been labeled as being a "good actor".

Zz.

"The Rock" and vague premises do not sound like a recipe for success!
